Life doesn't end after a few setbacks. One can always try to grow beyond them and come out victorious. Infact, the struggles that we face in our everyday lives only make us stronger and equip us with the ability to handle acute adversity bravely.
Samaira dint have the luxury of a happy married life as she was constantly belittled by her husband but in Vivian she finds her safe haven. The two men are portrayed quite in contrast and hence the equation of the female protagonist is quite different with each of them
What makes this book unique from most romantic reads is the narration and the softness with which situations are presented. Though lots of instances and events seem highly unlikely in real life as the CEO of a company won't fall head over heels for any girl but its the storytelling, presentation and smooth flow of language which compels readers to keep skimming through the pages. The character names though should have maintained a neutral front but still a fine one time read.

‘Love ………….. She ripped my heart and gripped my soul………. Her thoughts dripped into me…… And now nothing matters anymore…….. Her dreams are mine , mine are hers….. Together, we will walk in the lane of life, Slowly but steadily toward the sky of success…….
I really appreciate the quotes at the beginning of each chapter, which are really very inspiring. ‘Decisions or promises made during moments of fury are doomed to flop, forever leaving scars that never heal’ ‘When death embraces me , I want to welcome it with a smile. Please don’t cry for me; it is not my end but a journey towards a new me’ ‘If life is harsh, remember that everything in the universe happens for a reason. So, don’t give up, ever.’

This is an excellent and an inspiring fiction novel from Saranya Umakanthan. The protagonist of this novel is Samaira Ranjan. She gets married to Ashish initially and was having high hopes of having a happy and an everlasting married life but was short lived.
She gets abused verbally and physically which prompts her to apply for divorce. When she reaches home with this news(since she did not reveal it to her parents), she gets another major blow. The series of unfortunate events/incidents that happens after this reminded me of a Tamil proverb:
பட்ட காலிலே படும் கெட்ட குடியே கெடும்
I learnt a new word called "GOOGOLPLEX" though many of you might have known prior, finds a mention here with a reference to GOD that the number of requests made to HIM "and why only me?" would have surpassed this number. Those who do not know this word, kindly Google it ;-)
When she thought everything was lost, she meets Vivian Andhera. This meeting was explained beautifully in the novel and I particularly liked this sentence “He breathed in her feminine, floral perfume” which highlights the Law of Attraction in a candid way.
Vivian, CEO of Creative Tanks with around 5,000 employees hires Samaira. Samaira had Preeti, Shreya & Praveen as her friends in the organisation. I had an intuition that this novel also gave a feel of watching the tele-serial "நீ தானே என் பொன் வசந்தம்" though the story lines of both of them were entirely different.
Though Vivian liked Samaira very much, destiny had different plans. Gauri Ma wanted him to get married to Kushi. There are few twists in the story which would keep you captivated till the end. There is one more line which would evoke inspiration among the readers which goes like this -> “When you are appreciated, don’t be modest... don’t deny it. People praise you only when you deserve it”. How true are these words...
Saranya has done a great job by penning a story which has the true essence of Love coupled with tolerance, forgiveness, motivation, inspiration and many other, all packed in one story.
Last but not the least, I wanted to end this review with another favorite line from the novel “Samaira saw his dream in her eyes, and Vivian saw hers in his”.
‘One Day, Life Will Change’ by Saranya Umakanthan is a story that revolves around Samaira and Vivian. Samaira was once a lively girl working with an organization but had to sacrifice her job to satisfy the unreasonable demand/s made by her husband and her in-laws. Little did she know that these unreasonable demands and rude behavior from her better half will be never ending and will turn her life upside down. On the other hand we have Vivian a successful entrepreneur who believes that every problem has a solution and does not like losers. Samaira was at her lowest point in life when destiny plays her role and Samaira and Vivian cross each other’s path. How will be their first encounter with each other? What does destiny has in store for Samaira and Vivian? To know read ‘One Day, Life Will Change’.
My Thoughts:
Plot is beautiful which will make the readers emotional at certain points. It is also a story which shows us how two people can really bring out the best of each other and grow together. A book which will keep the readers engrossed throughout the book.
Characters are well developed and relatable. I really liked Vivian’s character a lot. Vivian himself has been through a lot but never gave up his hopes and really helped Samaira a lot to overcome her doubts. He also motivated her to go and achieve her dreams.
Language is simple and lucid. Narration is done beautifully and I also liked how the author has started each chapter with a quote which is relatable to the chapters.
The book cover is really beautiful and inspiring. The title of the book is also apt to the plot. Overall, it is a really beautiful story which will inspire the readers to go ahead and try to achieve their dreams.
I love books that revolve around the theme of hope. Such books usually leave a sense of positivity and make you feel happy while you are reading. This book was one such book. Though it had sad elements at times, the positivity and hope at all times ensured that you did not feel too sad while reading the book. I give the book 4 stars out of 5 and here is my review of it.
The story revolves around Samaira and Vivian who meet each other after fighting their own battles in their lives. While the battles of Samaira have been disclosed at the beginning of the story, the personal life and the battles of Vivian have been revealed at the later stages in the story. Samaira was great at singing but due to some external factors, she lost her confidence in her talent and skills. The confidence is brought back with Vivian’s support and many more things happen in this journey. I will not reveal everything about this journey as you should read this book to find out more.
The characterization in the book is beautiful for not just the main characters but also the supporting ones. The plot is beautiful but is quite common and similar to the common romantic stories at times. The narration is easy and quick and you will be able to finish the book quickly, maybe even in a single sitting. I did not like the cover much. Felt, it could be better and more attractive.
If you love romance novels or want to read a story that revolves around hope or will leave you happy in the end, you can pick up this book.
A lovely story with some motivating lines made this book fit and fine and I loved every bit of it.
Every chapter of the book tells and gives a message to live a better life.
Recommended to romance lovers and motivational readers too.
It's a great book and finished in just one sitting and it made my train journey amazing and gave me a very good and memorable moment.
The author has done a marvellous job in this book and I would like to urge every reader to give it a read and I guarantee you, you will love it.
Happy reading and keep inspiring people to read.

If you have recently read a heavy emotionally exhausting book , you may pick this book up as a light headed fresh read. The plot is not extremely unique , has a smooth flow to the fiction , can become predictable after a while but it has the vibes of positivity in it.

You may check this book out for a feel good romance drama book.
It's true that life follows a sine curve. There will be good times, followed by the bad ones and again the sun will shine bright and it continues like that. We tend to think that good times flow away with a blink of eyes and difficult periods seem to stay with us till eternity. I believe it is because we are so absorbed in our pain/grief/any kind of negative space that we tend to sink into it and rarely take proactive steps to get out of it. Now coming to the book, the author explores the very nature of life through a simple narrative. Often predictable, the plot is with minor errors here and there. She doesnt fail to address the need to surround ourselves with people who vibe positively and cut off toxic people from their life no matter how close they are and that good times only come when we put effort into it. All that matters is what we are feeding to our mind and how we are following our passion for life. That struggle is the very essence of life and one shouldn't give up trying to be our best version. I find this book to be a perfect companion to grab after a long hectic day.
One Day, Life Will Change is a sweet and inspiring story about two characters that are complete opposites and very unique in their own way. Samaira was a quirky and light-hearted, and I really liked reading about her and getting a glimpse at how her mind worked. But after losing everything, her love, parents and her career, she’s despondent to any feelings. She meets Vivian, a successful and dynamic head of Creative Tanks, and her life turned upside down. Vivian tries everything in his hands to bring Samaira back on track.The characters are original, quirky and so very interesting, they make you want to stop and think about life and all the weird and wonderful stuff in it. It’s a sweet filmy story that will be loved by the new readers, and the one who wants to start reading fictions.Of course, a book can (and should) not be judged by its cover. But, a well-designed cover page makes the positive impression of it.The book is simple and explores the traditional Indian culture and its fusion with the modern world.It’s a book with a simple and delightful plot. The narration of the story is crisp and engaging keeping the reader hooked throughout.This twisting, turning, heartbreaking novel raises provocative moral questions while developing a truly unique relationship between two people brought together by chance. ‘One Day, Life Will Change’ is the kind of book you simply can’t put down, even when you realize you don’t want to see it end.The characters developed by the author has a strong impact on the readers.Overall a good book with simple narration and interesting plot. I really like this book and I would like to appreciate the excellent writing style by the author .

This is an amazing and motivating fiction novel from Saranya Umakanthan. The hero of this novel is Samaira Ranjan. She gets hitched to Ashish at first and was having high expectations of having a glad and never-ending wedded everyday routine except was short-experienced.
going to the subject of the book. It spins around the subject of expectation. Such books as a rule leave a feeling of energy and cause you to feel glad while you are perusing. This book was one such book. Although it had pitiful components on occasion, the energy and expectation consistently guaranteed that you didn't feel excessively tragic while perusing the book.
portrayal in the book is wonderful for the fundamental characters as well as the supporting ones. The plot is lovely yet is very normal and like the basic heartfelt stories on occasion. The portrayal is simple and fast and you will actually want to complete the book rapidly, perhaps even in a solitary sitting. I didn't care for the cover a lot. Felt, it very well may be better and more appealing.
